r/WheatPennies

I bought a bag at an auction and couldn’t believe the quality of the wheats, there’s 50 or so in Great condition and over 50 steelies to top it off, keep searching there out there!

What are the things I should be looking for? My dad collected hundreds of wheat pennies and I’m going through his collection now since I think it’s neat and it’s a way to feel close to him. I found this one 1909 wheat penny in the top of one of the stacks and I think it’s neat but I have no idea what I’m looking at.

it's now my oldest penny. All of the pennies in my collection are ones that I have found. it's in pretty good shape all considering

Got this from change from store the other day!
